UofL has three signees and one commitment to date in Pitino’s 2015 class which ranks fourth nationally according to 247Sports. Pitino and staff have been all over the country scouting talent to bring in for immediate help.

A newfound toughness in the post and vastly improved mid-range game has elevated the high-major stock of Yankuba Sima.

Maryland, Arizona, and Louisville all have been in persistent pursuit of the 6-foot-11 forward/center. Yankuba dropped 15 points (7-for-9 FG), ripped down six rebounds, blocked a shot and manipulated about four others during a 15-minute span of Elev8’s 93-90 resume win over Hargrave Military Academy earlier this month.

“Maryland, Arizona, and Louisville have shown the most love,” said Sima, who has packed muscle onto a leafy frame while subscribing to the role of rim protector.
